N680DJ

This entry documents airframe N680DJ, a 2016-built Cessna 680A Citation Latitude with serial number 680A0030. Manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. (Cessna), the airframe is registered in the US and is owned and operated by Direct Jet Charter LLC, a corporation based in Greensboro, NC, US. The aircraft’s registry reflects corporate charter operation from its Greensboro home base, and the airframe retains its original Garmin-equipped cockpit and executive interior as delivered in 2016. No separate valuation or notable incident history is published in the supplied data.

The cabin of N680DJ adheres to the typical executive flat-floor layout for the model, configured to accommodate 8–10 passengers with a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory, supporting standard business charter missions. The aircraft is fitted with a Garmin G5000 avionics suite, enabling modern flight-deck automation and situational awareness for single-crew or two-crew charter operations. With a cruise speed of 446 kts and a range of 2,700 nm, the airframe is well suited to medium- to long-range regional and transcontinental charter missions from its Greensboro base. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on its twin PW306D powerplants and typical corporate-jet upkeep cycles consistent with fleet charter usage.

As a Cessna 680A Citation Latitude, N680DJ represents the mid-size, flat-floor business jet niche within Textron Aviation’s product line, combining transcontinental range and a high operational ceiling of 45,000 ft with a ten-seat executive cabin. The aircraft’s performance figures—2,700 nm range and 446 kts cruise—position it for charter operators prioritizing efficient point-to-point regional to transcontinental missions. From a maintenance and resale perspective, the installed Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306D engines and Garmin avionics are key factors influencing operational cost, inspection cycles, and market appeal for corporate and charter buyers.
